You noticed that too, huh?
I've got a pair of scripts I use for pulling and pushing mail. They
total up to over 100 and something lines in size, so I just send
them to anyone who wants them.
The punch line of the "pull" script is this piece of script:
SUCKDIROPTS="-dd $DATADIR -dm $BATCHDIR -dt $TMPDIR"
function run_suck {
suck $FEEDSERVER -bi $BATCHFILE -i 0 -c -H -q $SUCKDIROPTS
CODE=$?
if [ $CODE -gt 0 ]; then
echo "suck exited with code $CODE"
fi
if [ -f $BATCHFILE ]; then
cp $BATCHFILE $BATCHFILE_SAVE
fi
if [ -f $BATCHFILE ]; then
innxmit $LOCALSERVER $BATCHFILE
CODE=$?
if [ $CODE -gt 0 ]; then
echo "innxmit exited with code $CODE"
fi
fi
}
